I was at the LHBS today discussing an Amber Ale recipe I had in mind and he suggested adding Vienna malt to it rather than Munich for a similar but more toasted malt flavor. This is an AG recipe. Anyone have any thoughts. Thanks, David

I use Vienna malts often and usually about 1 lb in my 6 gallon brews. I love the golden-orange color it brings and I think it adds a bit of a maltier backbone to my IPA's.
Many folks talk about a Vienna SMaSH and they've won many awards.
I think your LHBS suggested Vienna because its not as dark as Munich and would likely work well in an amber ale.
What's the recipe look like?

I'm with Phil on this....love it, do it. I have added Vienna to quite a few recipes and I love them. Like Beer-lord said, it adds a great color and the it also adds a nice mild complexity to the malt bill, without being too overpowering.
